If last night’s NBA Finals close-out game between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets was your idea of basketball nirvana, you’ll love this Washington Mystics group. Because just like that game, every game the Mystics play becomes a rock fight. They take teams into the mud, get muddy themselves, and usually find a way to win ugly.
Washington may have the league's best defensive rating (90.3) by a mile, but it also has the second-worst offense with a rating of 93.3.
The Mystics are prone to stagnation, as their near 25-point collapse against the Seattle Storm on Sunday proved. That kind of offensive drought is something that Elena Delle Donne’s isolation brilliance typically mitigates. When all else is going wrong, they can throw her the ball and get a decent look. Without her, things get much more difficult. Luckily for Washington, she’s expected to return today after missing Sunday’s game with neck tightness.
So while the Mystics' offense is very much a work in progress, “EDD” is perhaps the best late-clock bail-out shot maker in the entire league. As long as she plays and is somewhat close to full strength, the Mystics have an offensive weapon the Indiana Fever simply have no answer for.
Because while Indiana has promising guards and Aliyah Boston at center, it has nobody who can hold a candle to EDD working out of the wing near the baseline or on the perimeter as a shooter. She just moves in a way the Fever can’t slow down.
The main reason to believe in Washington is of course, the defense. Boston will put Shakira Austin’s skills to the test on both ends, but nothing can prepare the young Fever phenom for the amount of off-ball stunting, pressure, and help the Mystics guards inflict upon opposing post players. 
That pressure by Natasha Cloud, Ariel Atkins, Brittney Sykes, and others, is one of the reasons Washington allows the fewest points in the paint in the W despite not having a traditional All-Defense-caliber center parked at the rim.
The difference in net rating between these two squads is just shy of nine points per game, so even accounting for home-court advantage the value is clearly on Washington here. Some Mystics skepticism has set in due to their offensive futility, but this line has moved enough to where backing them to cover Tuesday is the best play on the board.
While I’m comfortable taking them at -4.5, I’d also wait until closer to tip to see if the line moves any further in their favor. My best bet: Mystics -4.5 (-110 at Betway) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate Disclosure: Covers June receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting site. Best WNBA bonuses
